Chapter 415

Zhao Xing opened the letter given by Wu Tian and found that it contained only an encrypted identification code for a Star Mirror.

Zhao Xing added Wu Tian's private account according to the encrypted identification code, and only then did he receive the real content.

"Wu Tian was released from prison early?"

"He went to the 'Black Sky' Wilderness?"

Zhao Xing was slightly stunned; in his memory, Wu Tian would not be released from prison for a long time.

Now he had skipped the process of being transferred from Erliangpo Prison to a light-security prison and had left prison directly.

"The Black Sky Wilderness is a place completely devoid of light, known as the place most likely to contain a 'Dead Zone'..."

In his past life, players went to explore the boundary, and even with resurrection, they couldn't figure anything out; entering meant certain death, so they later gave up.

"Wu Tian is truly mysterious; I wonder what his background is," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

In his past life, he thought Wu Tian was just a Dao Domain Realm expert, but in this life, when he entered Erliangpo, his perception was refreshed.

A mere Dao Domain Realm expert could absolutely not sit and discuss the Dao with Meng Wu, let alone manage Erliangpo.

"At the very least, he is on the same level as Meng Wu, or even..." Zhao Xing clutched his chest, thinking of the Heart Lamp.

A wisp of the Heart Lamp's power had not even been questioned by Emperor Chenjiu when he participated in the Primordial Assembly.

Either it wasn't detected, or it was detected but not mentioned.

Regardless of which it was, it proved that Wu Tian's true identity was absolutely not as simple as the Dao Domain Realm.

"We are neither related nor friends; I don't know what Wu Tian wants from me." Zhao Xing put down the Star Mirror and set the matter of Wu Tian aside.

As for Han Chuchen's letter, it was also a special identification code; Zhao Xing thought for a moment and did not add the other party.

"Better to avoid extra trouble; let's upgrade to the second rank of Seaweed as soon as possible."

Two and a half years had passed, and looking at the points leaderboard, many Seaweed-level members had already begun to obtain extra points.

The points required for promotion at the Sea Grass level were not that high, and there were even Sea Grass-level members who had already reached the seventh rank.

"Many members already have a strong enough foundation in the Great Divine Ability realm and don't need to re-cultivate like me; they have all gone to do point missions."

"The highest Seaweed-level members are only at the fifth rank, and there are only two of them: Tuo Sen and Pu Guangrui."

"It seems the gap between these two is very small."

Tuo Sen and Pu Guangrui were both at the fifth rank of Seaweed, and they were the only ones; there were many at the fourth rank, and in the top 160, many were.

"Gu Luohe told me to try exploring the Primordial Ocean. Now that the cultivation speed of the 'Hunyuan Realm' has slowed down, it is just the right time for me to try."

Primordial Ocean, West Coast.

Both Seaweed-level and Sea Grass-level members must enter the Primordial Ocean from the West Coast.

As for Coral-level members, they can enter deeper ocean areas from other directions.

The Primordial Ocean is both a treasure land for cultivation and a place where one can obtain points by clearing levels; it is a relatively popular treasure land.

Many plants resembling morning glories were planted along the shore, emitting a hazy gray light.

It is a derivative species created by the Primordial Realm—the "Instant Flower."

Early Self-Self Sinuong basically did not use the Boundary Boats or teleportation arrays of Mechanists; they all used plant troops to replace travel.

The Thousand-Star Vine solves large-scale, long-distance teleportation, while the Instant Flower solves travel within 100 million miles. Players jokingly call them "shared flower carriages."

In most places in the Primordial Realm, speed cannot exceed the speed of light, and Sea Grass-level and Seaweed-level members cannot fly around randomly; they must honestly follow the prescribed paths.

Including Zhao Xing and the others now, their body sizes were normal human size; this is to save the "transport capacity" of the Primordial Realm.

When someone teleports over, the Instant Flower swells up, emits a faint light, and the moment it blooms, it spits the person out, completing the teleportation.

"Swish~"

A man wearing simple cyan dharma robes with a straight posture was spat out by the Instant Flower and landed on the Vine Street of the West Coast.

On both sides were "Light-Illuminating Trees," as well as sunflowers, all providing light.

"Whoosh~"

Waves crashed against the shore, and the sound of people was deafening.

Zhao Xing received many sounds in his ears and found that there were indeed many people.

"Ten thousand miles of coastline, in the sky and on the ground, including the near-shore, are full of people."

"It is worthy of being a popular map..."

Just as he was looking around, suddenly—

"Move, move out of the way!"

A hurried voice came from the sea. Zhao Xing looked over and saw a giant flying horizontally, crashing toward the shore.

Most of the members on the shore were only two meters tall, and the taller ones were only ten meters or so.

However, this person flying horizontally had a body size of over three hundred meters, crashing over at an astonishing speed like a meteorite.

"Swish~"

The people next to Zhao Xing, who had never experienced this scene, immediately flashed away, staying far from the impact point.

Zhao Xing, however, stood calmly in place, not even moving his feet.

"Plop!"

The seemingly massive giant, upon entering the West Coast, rapidly shrank in size and fell onto the soft grass, raising only a cloud of dust.

"Hahahaha~"

A burst of laughter erupted from the surroundings, and Zhao Xing also watched the fun.

There was no malice in the laughter, because such scenes were being staged everywhere on the West Coast.

When geniuses go to challenge the Primordial Ocean, if they reach a critical value and cannot move forward, they will be thrown away by the waves if they force their way.

The waves will shake away all the spiritual power of the challenger and smash them back to the shore.

"Jiang Xing, you fell down again. How many times is this this month?"

"Brother Jiang, you martial artists are really durable. The soil of the Flower Street is hard, comparable to the defense of a Five Elements Dao Domain Realm expert, and you, with your head, managed to smash a dent into it. I admire you."

"Could it be that you entered the Primordial Realm by relying on the Iron Head Skill?"

"Hahahaha~"

Jiang Xing was teased, but he was not angry; he climbed up on his own, touched his head, and even smiled at the people around him.

"My skills are not refined; I have made you all laugh."

Afterward, he came to a giant mushroom and sat cross-legged in meditation, seemingly reviewing the challenge just now.

"I really miss this." Zhao Xing strolled along the West Coast. There was also a beach here, growing clusters of "Spiritual Energy Mushrooms," which were one of the achievements of the Primordial Realm in countering the Wilderness-ization.

They were not large in size, at most a hundred meters high, and their characteristic was that they were easy to raise. They had extremely strong adaptability and strong reproductive ability.

To what extent? As long as there is sunlight, even without spiritual energy, only Yuan energy, they can rapidly reproduce within a hundred years and occupy a medium-sized boundary star.

Moreover, they can also produce spiritual energy and grow to the Origin Realm.

In the universe version, there are many plant troops that are not picky about the environment, but the premise is that there must be an environment with spiritual energy.

Like the Spiritual Energy Mushroom, which doesn't even pick an environment with spiritual energy, there are truly not many.

"Although its species is lowly, it implements the philosophy of the Self-Self school: it can survive even while ignoring the environment." Zhao Xing walked to a spiritual mushroom and stroked the white, tender roots above.

The Spiritual Energy Mushroom has no attack power, and the speed at which it produces spiritual energy is also very slow.

However, in terms of improving the environment of the Wilderness, if you stretch the timeline to the scale of thousands or ten thousand years.

Even Emperor-level species cannot compare to it.

"This is the strength of the auxiliary Self-Self Sinuong." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "In this year's Primordial Assembly, the first place in the Self-Self auxiliary combat division, 'Yuan Qiusheng,' planted 19, 00 Origin Realm plants in a spiritual-less area in just three short months."

"This quantity is far higher than the second place, 'Ji Jingzhu,' by more than 5, 00 plants."

There are also many types of spells for auxiliary Self-Self Sinuong, such as 【Jiedao】, 【Yuanming】, 【Shenhua】, and 【Yuanji】.

This classification is not much different from the classification during the Xuanhuang Realm period, because the Self-Self school is meant to deal with extreme environments, and in extreme environments, there is no spiritual energy to utilize, only Yuan energy can be used.

"In the future, when I go to develop the West, if time permits, I must learn some auxiliary spells to avoid falling into a desperate situation."

"If there is really no time, I can only keep some prisoners on hand as backups."

The "Ling" of a cultivator is also the Ling of spiritual energy!

Using cultivators as fertilizer planted in the ground, when in a desperate situation, one can still obtain spiritual energy, cultivate plant troops, and escape.

However, this type of 【Ling Seed Method】 is harmful to heaven and is classified as a 【Demonic Seed Method】 by many ancient kingdoms. Any Sinuong who learns this spell is regarded as an "Evil Cultivator."

The 【Demonic Seed Method】 is very difficult to learn in the Primordial Realm. The Empire's principle is: do not advocate, do not oppose, do not pay attention.

But if you learn it, it is not against the law, as long as you don't use it on your own people.

"In the Primordial Realm, Emperor Wudu counts as one who is proficient in the Demonic Seed Method. I don't know if I can learn it if I go to find him in the future."

Zhao Xing rested for a while, accepted a mission in the Star Mirror, and began to walk toward the Primordial Ocean.

【Primordial Ocean Point Mission · Great Ocean Immeasurable】

【Point acquisition rule: For every 1 nautical mile the challenger advances and stands firm within ten breaths, they can obtain 1 point.】

【After 100, 00 miles, for every 1 nautical mile advanced, obtain 10 points.】

【After 1, 00, 00 miles, for every 1 nautical mile advanced, obtain 100 points.】

【Primordial Ocean · Island Fishing】

【Point acquisition rule: When a member enters the 10, 00-nautical-mile area, they can discover 'Primitive Islands,' can land on the islands, use the Dao Field as a rod, and spiritual power as bait to fish.】

【The Primordial Ocean possesses different types of fish containing powerful Dao rhymes; eating them can enhance Great Dao comprehension.】

【Primordial Ocean Point Mission · Deep Sea Gold Touching】

【Point acquisition rule: In the Primordial Ocean, many treasures such as Five Elements Source Stones, Yin-Yang Source Stones, and World Source Stones have been born.】

【1 Five Elements Source Stone exchanges for 5 points, 1 Yin-Yang Source Stone exchanges for 500 points, and a World Source Stone exchanges for 5, 00 points.】

【One must advance to at least 10, 00 nautical miles before source stone treasures will appear.】

Both having a training effect and treasure acquisition, the Primordial Ocean series of missions can be said to be very generous.

The generous resources of the ocean have also created a variety of missions.

It can be said that as long as one has the strength, the Primordial Ocean alone is enough to rise to the Coral level and obtain permanent residency.

"Hum~~"

As soon as Zhao Xing stepped into the seawater, he felt his feet go numb, as if an ordinary person had been electrocuted, and he stood still in place.

"Every drop of water is crazily impacting me."

"It's only submerged to my ankles, and the impact is already this great."

"The seemingly calm ocean hides terrifying power; it is difficult to stand firm."

After walking 1 nautical mile, the seawater was already over two meters deep, but Zhao Xing had also enlarged his body size.

Once inside the Primordial Ocean, one can enlarge their body size without scruples.

The Primordial Ocean basically has no rules.

Challengers can use means such as the Origin Space, plant troops, divine ability spells, and physical resistance.

However, wanting to take shortcuts is very difficult.

For example, Zhao Xing has a Life-Death Dao Domain Realm Thousand-Illusion Tree in his body.

If he summons it, can he challenge to 1, 00, 00 nautical miles?

Impossible, because the impact in the ocean doesn't just impact the physical body; it also impacts the Origin Space.

Let alone 1, 00, 00 nautical miles, even at 100, 00 nautical miles, Zhao Xing's Origin projection would be suppressed back into his body.

Along with the Thousand-Illusion Tree, it would be forced to return to the Origin Space.

This is because the World Law is not strong enough, and the Origin Space is not strong enough.

Not to mention that the further forward one goes, the more complex the environment becomes; not only will there be impact, but even the seawater will become boiling hot.

Even if he could release the Thousand-Illusion Tree, a single mind-type great tree like the Thousand-Illusion Tree could not take root and stand firm in the Primordial Ocean.

If the troops cannot stand firm, it is even more impossible for the Sinuong to hold on.

Therefore, wanting to take shortcuts is impossible.

"The Thousand-Illusion Tree indeed cannot be counted as my own strength. It is controlled by spending money on the Water Yuan Law Contract; even my Origin Space cannot support it. I still have to wrong it by shrinking itself, forbidding it from absorbing nutrients, and maintaining a low-activity state to maintain balance."

"It's fine for beating up weaklings, but if I fight a Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm Sinuong, the other party could instantly suppress my projection back, let alone a true Life-Death Dao Domain Realm expert."

With the help of external forces, even Emperor-level species comparable to the Reincarnation Realm can be subdued.

After all, there are plenty of large forces and families in the world with similar inheritances, and plant life will not oppose a successor.

But even without considering the "subjugation" hurdle, weak Sinuong cannot hold them.

The Origin Space is too weak to put them in at all. If forced in, the fragile Dao prototype would be crushed by the Emperor-level species' own Dao rhyme.

Can you expect a trash bag to hold a ton of goods?

Even if the previous problems are solved, in actual combat, it's either bullying the weak or delivering food.

Zhao Xing just moved forward relying on his own dharma body.

When he reached 10, 00 nautical miles, he began to use the Heavenly Timing Law to repel water.

At this time, part of the wave impact directly affected the Origin Space.

"Casting the World Law 'Yin-Yang Demarcation' here will decrease its power by 10%."

"According to the way the power progresses, if I walk to 100, 00 nautical miles, the World Law will probably be unusable." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Because the powerful suppression will cause the Origin Space and Dao Field to be unable to open, and naturally, the World Law cannot be cast.

At 100, 00 nautical miles.

"Whoosh~"

Just as Zhao Xing reached this limit, a giant wave slammed over.

"Boom~~"

The fanatical aura and terrifying weight, carrying multiple attacks, pressed toward Zhao Xing on the sea surface.

Inside the ocean, it was as if a sun had risen, like a volcanic eruption.

At this time, Zhao Xing was standing in the center of a black-purple vine.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

Before even making contact, the leaves and roots of the Demon Cloud were all smoking.

"Not good, can't hold on! Mowen, retreat!"

Zhao Xing immediately gave the order, letting the Mowen Vine take him and retreat.

"Boom~"

At 99, 00 nautical miles, on an island.

Zhao Xing watched the raging waves retreat, unable to help but feel lingering fear.

"The limit at 100, 00 nautical miles, I couldn't even hold on for a single breath."

"The World Law cannot be used, and the Dao Field and Origin Space cannot be opened."

"The Mowen Vine was injured, mainly because it was protecting me."

The current Mowen Vine is already at its peak, comparable to the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm.

However, the Mowen Vine has Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm strength, but Zhao Xing does not.

Therefore, he could only let the Mowen Vine detach from the Origin soil, take root in the void above the ocean, and protect himself as he moved forward.

In this way, the Sinuong's own Origin Space not only did not provide any amplification to the Mowen Vine.

Instead, it needed to consume the Mowen's own power to protect him.

It was impossible to stand firm in the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm sea area.

"Mowen can be considered relatively adaptable; it can take root in the void, but the Thousand-Illusion Tree cannot; it can only take root in my Origin soil or the seabed. But taking root in the seabed is even more impossible; it's possible I wouldn't be able to retrieve it... Instead, Mowen is suitable for clearing levels."

"The Primordial Ocean environment is too complex; the Mowen Vine can barely protect itself after exceeding 100, 00 nautical miles."

The boiling ocean, even the temperature is surprisingly high; the Mowen Vine is smoking at the leaves and roots as it walks to this point.

The void is also extremely unstable; it is impossible to take Zhao Xing further.

"If we only talk about the strength of a Self-Self Sinuong, I can only challenge to here." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The Sinuong and plant troops should have complemented each other, but now, I have become a burden."

"This proves that my strength in this school has not reached the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm, at least not completely."

Speaking only of the strength of the Self-Self school, Zhao Xing might barely reach the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm in attack and control.

After all, the Green Poison Empress has actual combat wins, and the attack and control power of the Void Mushroom have defeated Wu Chuanlan.

However, in the environment of the Primordial Ocean, the defense cannot reach it.

It is still that short board—the Origin Space is too weak.

Re-cultivating the Hunyuan Realm is not that quick to show results.

"This is just a rigid challenge; in actual combat, the gap between me and a true Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm expert is even greater."

"However, I am proficient in multiple schools."

"Big, big, big!!"

Since I have already arrived at 100, 00 nautical miles, I must stand firm for 10 breaths no matter what.

Zhao Xing has obsessive-compulsive disorder; the Primordial Realm has now given him 99, 99 points.

If he goes back just like this, he won't be able to sleep for several days!

"Mowen, let's try again! This time you don't need to worry about me!"

The Mowen Vine extended a vine, its branches and leaves curled up to form a fist shape, and bumped against Zhao Xing.

Like master, like plant troop; the Mowen Vine also possesses the same unyielding character as Zhao Xing!

Challenging in the Primordial Ocean is also helpful for the evolution of the Mowen Vine!

"Hum~"

The Treasure Mountain divine ability bloomed with light in the seawater, and Zhao Xing and the Mowen Vine set off again.

They began to head toward the 100, 00-nautical-mile area.

"Boom!"

Raging giant waves rose, and Zhao Xing had already driven the Treasure Mountain divine ability to the extreme.

However, the body size of the "Five Extremes" still appeared somewhat small in front of the raging waves.

The Mowen Vine was even larger than Zhao Xing, covering the left and right directions, forming two green barriers.

There were waves on three sides, and only the rear had a way to retreat.

It was as if a sun was hidden in the waves, and the boiling seawater was almost burning through everything.

"Five-Finger Mountain! Suppress it for me!"

Zhao Xing stood on the boundary line of 100, 00 miles, and the treasure light on his body was completely restrained.

Vaguely, a majestic human head phantom formed behind him.

It was solemn, and a gray giant hand emerged from the sky.

After the Five-Finger Mountain was cast, the earth veins on the seabed and the Earth-type Great Dao in the Primordial Ocean were all shaken, and a force was absorbed into the gray giant palm.

The stinging pain and scorching heat weakened, but it was still unbearable for Zhao Xing.

"Break for me!!"

Zhao Xing roared, and the third-rank Great Divine Ability Five-Finger Mountain actually broke through to the fourth rank at this moment.

Although it was only a one-rank improvement, the power of the Five-Finger Mountain increased significantly; this is the difference between entry and small success!

"Hum~"

The gray Five-Finger Mountain turned pale gold, but soon rendered red under the light of the waves.

Zhao Xing ignored the giant waves on both sides, and the Five-Finger Mountain slapped toward the giant wave in front.

"Boom!"

The Five-Finger Mountain exceeded 20 extremes in height, blocking between the Primordial waves and Zhao Xing.

The sea surface, which had just been undulating, appeared with a concave area, while the surroundings continued to rise, wanting to overturn Zhao Xing.

The mountain fell, but it was not stable, tottering.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After fifteen breaths.

The Five-Finger Mountain was still tottering, but it was blocking in front of Zhao Xing.

The waves bypassed the mountain and the Mowen Vine.

When they reached the 90, 00-mile area, they abruptly disappeared, drilling into the seabed to form an underground river.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile.

100, 00 nautical miles, challenge cleared!

Looking at the extra points in the Star Mirror, they also changed from 99, 99 to 100, 00.

"Comfortable."

"Mowen, well done."

Zhao Xing raised his fist and bumped fists with Mowen.

Standing firm at 100, 00 nautical miles proves that his comprehensive combat power has reached the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm!

"I only learned Self-Self school spells, and only had single Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm strength, but with the Mountain Law Great Divine Ability, it is different."

"The Dao of the Sinuong, Heavenly Timing, Earthly Advantage, and Self, all have a vast world." Zhao Xing sighed with emotion.

If challenging the Primordial Ocean is seen as a life-and-death battle, having the Five-Finger Mountain and not having it is the difference between life and death.

This also further strengthened Zhao Xing's idea of cultivating all three schools.

"Let's try to move forward again."

After 100, 00 nautical miles, every 1 nautical mile advanced is 10 points.

Ten days later, Zhao Xing was slapped away and landed on an island in the 90, 00-mile area.

"Bang~"

"Cough cough~"

Zhao Xing lay in the pit, covered in dust, looking up at the sky.

"Stopped at 100, 00 nautical miles."

"The waves of the Primordial Ocean have multi-faceted attacks, and the environment is becoming increasingly harsh."

"The impact not only causes the Dao Field and Origin Space to be unable to open, but is also accompanied by mental will impact."

"If the mind is unstable, the power of any spell will decrease, and it might not even be cast."

"Wanting to step into the area after 100, 00 miles is still very reluctant."

Zhao Xing rubbed his face, intending to accept missions in other directions.

Such as Island Fishing, Deep Sea Gold Touching.

These missions can all obtain good points to exchange for resources.

It's just that compared to 【Great Ocean Immeasurable】, other missions will take more time.

It only took Zhao Xing two and a half months to challenge to 100, 00 nautical miles.

But other missions will be longer.

Just as Zhao Xing was preparing to get up, a strange face suddenly appeared beside the big pit.

He appeared very suddenly; Zhao Xing didn't even feel how he approached.

And after the other party saw him, his expression was stunned at first, and then he said with gritted teeth:

"It's actually you?!"
